Different anime tracking services

I've been starting a process to be active elsewhere on the internet to advertise AL and bring more people here. I'm going to do so under the name Momogari, so I've been making new accounts and such.

I think I might need to move my anime lists to either a new service, or at least to the new name. Right now I use ANN under the name morsmaestro. I think ANN is good--it's not as popular anymore, but its highly functional, easy to use, very versatile in the way you can set up lists, and its encyclopedia has a crazy amount of information, so it's probably a good choice still, but maybe it's not as social-friendly. It might not be good for sharing outside of ANN.

What other services are out there? If you use another, what makes it good?

Also, if you happen to know of any service that allows importing/exporting from a file, I'd love to hear about it. I have a feeling none exists, but just in case.

Another option, since my purpose is advertising AL, is to maintain it on AL. It could be done with careful structuring. It's far from ideal, but if it fits the purpose...

Anime-Planet has an import from other sites feature only. Link to my profile is in my signature. There are several AL members already using A-P. I dunno if it's any better for what you're trying to achieve since I've barely used ANN beyond a quick info gathering.

Oh, sweet. They have the right idea. Unfortunately it seems as though they haven't implemented it for ANN...

I found anime-anime planet nice and easy to use. I haven't really tried any others. I do like the feature showing how many episodes and the equivalent in hours, days weeks etc... out of all the anime you've watched combined

Re: Different anime tracking services

I have never used any services to track my anime, or lists of them anyways. I've watched all kinds, a lot of it on VHS, DVDs, BDs, and VCD's. I got copies from friends too, as well as they did from me. Perhaps that is a bit old school. So my anime tracking is my shelves, DVD/VCD/BD cases, and the internet services I use to watch anime.

I suppose one that tracked it all together might be interesting, but I'm not sure why I'd go to the trouble to do that.

Once in awhile I post and write on Crunchy's and other's website. Usually not though. I find AL to be a more interesting forum to post on.

Re: Different anime tracking services

I don't keep a list anymore either, Ive watched so much I've lost count however if it's a really good anime, show, book, manga or any other media I don't think many people forget those sorts of things.

Even though I try to keep lists, I'm usually pretty bad about so I'm always finding things that I've seen that aren't on my list lol

But I've lost count too, apart from the lists I do have. It's a rough estimate -_-
